Delphos had a special visitor tonight to kick off the holiday season. Santa and Mrs. Claus rolled into town on top of a classic fire engine to as part of the Delphos Kiwanis Club’s Hometown Christmas. Besides jolly old saint nick, there was free hot dogs and hot chocolate, face painting, and fire truck rides. Kids were able to talk to Santa and hear a story from Mrs. Claus. This annual tradition is one of the Kiwanis Club’s favorite events, and despite having to alter how the had to do things the past couple of years, club members were glad to see hundreds of people come out to kick off the holidays.

The first event starts on Saturday night at Indian Lake for the "Light Up The Lake Spectacular" happening between Russells Point and Lakeview. This is one of the largest fireworks shows in the region. Pyrotecnico was hired to put on the show as fireworks will be synchronized to the music. The fireworks will start at 10 pm, and we are told the best viewing will be along the lake's west bank and Old Field Beach.
Saturday, August 14th at Delphos’s Stadium Park, they will be holding their first-ever Baby Safety Event from 12 p.m. to 3 p.m. New and expecting parents can learn what resources there are available in Allen and Van Wert Counties for their new bundle of joy. Plus, there will be talks about developmental milestones, introducing a baby into your home, and sleeping basics. The Baby Safety Event is just another way the Kiwanis Club furthers their mission.
The Delphos Kiwanis Club is preparing for a busy weekend at their annual Independence Day Celebration. The organization was one of the few to pull off a festival last summer, however it was only one day with limited events. This year they are back for the full two days. There will be live entertainment, the popular chicken barbeque, free rides on Sunday, and more. New to the festival this year is a gun raffle. The Delphos Kiwanis Treasurer, Cindy Metzger, says they are happy to bring even more to the weekend than in years past.
On Wednesday dozens of families watched a race between some of their favorite yellow feathery friends. Ten little ducklings competed in a race at stadium park in Delphos. Before each race, people bet on the duck they thought would waddle to the win. At the end, the ducks were raffled off. The event is hosted every year by the Delphos Kiwanis Club. The money raised from it helps the community.
A tradition continues in Delphos as people from near and far come to Stadium Park to celebrate the 4th of July.
